Fabrication Method of Pt-MO? Nanophase Electrodes for Highly Efficient Dye-sensitized Solar Cell

摘要

A method for fabricating a counter electrode for a dye-sensitized solar cell includes co-sputtering platinum and a metal oxide as target materials to deposit nanocrystalline platinum and an amorphous metal oxide on the substrate. The counter electrode exhibits improved performances as an electro-catalyst to assist in the reduction of I3- during operation of a dye-sensitized solar cell.
